As if! You're leaving town, probably forever, and you feel like you don't need your music anymore! BS!
shareWell her intentions were good. She wanted to leave them for William to see the world through music like she did. And she was starting a new life and could very well buy them again later.
It was odd that she took board games but not her records. That said, she might have felt her records were safer at home.
Sometimes a movie or tv show plot is so stupid that only the stupid can understand it.
Maybe she had matured and had moved on from pop music to real music like Beethoven and Mozart.
shareOr... Maybe she didn't take all of them ...
Or....maybe she just bought him some that she thought he'd like.
When my sister went off to college in '67, she left a dozen or so records behind like that.
They sat in the basement for a few years and by the time I went to college in 72 she was married and I eventually just took them with me-
The Doors 1st album, The Association, Tommy James and the Shondells, Gary Lewis and The Playboys, Paul Revere Kicks and The Mamas and Papas, even that very same Simon and Garfunkle Bookends album..
It happened here.
She had an old vinyl cased Magnavox stereo with fold out speakers, but by then I had a Pioneer 424 receiver with a Dual turntable and two Advent speakers and an Akai reel to reel tape deck. Sounded great.
At one point my own LP collection was about 3 feet or more wide. Those were the days!
That was a transition time for vinyl. It wasn't quite the revered medium then that it is now.
It wasn't very portable. You couldn't play a record in an automobile. I remember making the conscious decision back in those days to switch to cassette because I could play it in my car and didn't need to buy an album twice.
Then cds came along and at first I didn't want to buy them because I already had all these albums on cassette and they didn't have a way to play cds in your car yet. But eventually, that changed and I left cassettes behind.
That's an explanation for why this girl left her records behind. She left in her boyfriend's car and they were mobile. He probably had an 8-Track or cassette player in his car and his own music collection in that medium so they just went with that.
You mean back in the days of "3 LPs for $10" sales?
Yes they would. I worked in record stores for a good portion of the 70s.
Even with none of the above, other people have different value systems than you. She's jumping in a car leaving home for the first time, travelling light. She loves her little brother and she knows what that stash of rock and roll can do for/to him.
Besides, there couldn't have been more than 25-30 albums.
